Pacific Community Water Management Plus, Solomon Islands

An in-depth look into the phase 1 findings on Pacific Community Water Management Plus in the Solomon Islands is now available. 

The research completed by Water for Women partner The International WaterCentre & Griffith University with support from Plan International identify ways that enabling actors, in particular civil society organisations (CSOs) and governments, can better support communities to manage water systems in order to enable them to support improved WASH outcomes; that is, WASH outcomes that are resilient to natural hazards and disasters, that are sustainable (exist for the long-term), and that are inclusive (meet the needs of everyone).

This research sought to apply a strengths-based approach, identifying the specific factors that influence the success of water management, by examining a range of villages across different physical and socio-economic contexts in Solomon Islands.
